It's so typical to see DR trashing things he know nothing about.

Brit Hume's show is staffed with conservatives. Who cares if THEY think they are some inaccuracies.

Let me tell you something. Bush has a real problem with Michael Moore's film. Even a sceptic who likes Bush would have to admit after seeing that film that Bush is a very compromised president, that he has deceived the nation and that he is hiding something from us. In fact I saw a poll today where 71% of Americans thought Bush was hiding something from us. I'm not sure what the question was, but this is what I am talking about.

Bush and his people are just not honest. Never have been. Never will be. And for them to call Moore dishonest is a joke. Moore actually worked hard to make his case stick. He shows actual documents proving much of his case against Bush. Maybe there are a few details where he went over the line, but basically the film stands the test of veracity pretty well. It is also a very powerful emotional film about ordinary patriotic Americans victimized by this neocon regime in Washington. Why were they victimized? Because they made the mistake of believing in Bush.

I am talking about the speech made right after Columbine.

Fine. There was nothing inappropriate in that speech, either.


Go read it.......it was in-your-face rude........and fiery!

On Brit Hume's show they pointed out numerous other inaccuracies in the current movie and provided quotes from several LIBERAL news organizations criticizing the movie for its misrepresentations. Even Michael Izikoff.

So then, when do you expect the first lawsuit?

In one case he took Bush's quote concerning Palestinian terrorism and chopped the context off so that viewers would think the remark applied to Al Qaeda.

I have no idea what you're talking about......I haven't seen the movie.

That you would defend this propaganda really makes a pretty clear statement about your intellectual dishonesty.

Defend it? Where have I done that? I haven't seen it yet.

However, what I do know is that there must be some important truth to it because the right would not be working so hard to discredit either Moore and/or the film.

Furthermore, from what I've heard, much of the most damning stuff comes right out of Bush's mouth. And frankly, I don't get how you all can not be embarrassed with Bush's comments on the golf course. I am beginning to suspect there is nothing that that man can do or say that will embarrass you all and make you think twice about his appropriateness as president, including farting in public.

And that's very troubling to say the least.

Show us a single lie in Moore's film. I saw it and I am trying to think of anything untrue. I can't think of anything. Maybe you can help enlighten us.

I did wonder about the Saudis owning 7% of our economy? But that could be right. I know it's a lot. But that kind of thing doesn't really affect the overall.
